His future outlook is all about accomplishing the fun stuff he has always dreamed about doing. \u201cIn my youth, I was a silly kid. Life\u2019s challenges and experiences influenced becoming a serious-minded me and conformity was the only way for survival in the corporate world. With no one to answer to any longer, it\u2019s time for the silly me to come out . . . with maybe just a little seriousness, now and then,\u201d Marc says.

He also has three grandchildren, Jonah, Drew, and Benjamin. Marc will not accept letting the title \u201cGrandpa\u201d limit his capability for accomplishing his future projects. He loves being called \u201cGrandpa\u201d and says, \u201cIt is being called Grandpa and looking into young wishful eyes that energizes me to want to accomplish more.
